"Mr. Chen, I think we should start the plan for the next online game. ”

After the legendary world exceeds 1 million people online at the same time, Zou Tao will submit the next online game proposal.

This made Chen Yu more interested: "We only have one game, which is really too single. In the future, the online game community will continue to expand, and we must have more games. ”

Flipping through the plan, Chen Yu was a little surprised: "3D game?"

"Yes. ”

"Zou Tao, aren't you optimistic about 3D games?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm not optimistic about Triumph, it's not that I'm not optimistic about 3D games, I think 3D games are a trend in the future. ”

"Can our technology make 3D games?"

"Somewhat reluctantly. ”

Zou Tao was a little embarrassed: "Before, our team in the world of legends was formed improvised, and it was okay to make a 2D game, but it was really difficult to make a 3D game." However, at the moment Tsinghua University is working on a 3D engine, and I think we can pull them into our team. ”

"I approved this project. ”

Chen Yu nodded.

However, just a 3D game project, Chen Yu felt that it was not enough.

In the future, many well-known game companies will have at least dozens of games.

Not to mention Shanda, there were more than 100 online games in the previous life.

Although many of these online games are not well-known, they have also launched many classics.

It would be a sin not to make money well in the most lucrative era of online games.

"By the way, a group of people from the original Legend World game project came in, and we developed a casual game. I've already figured out the name, it's called Bubble Hall. ”

The group of game developers brought by Zou Tao have some skills, but they are not particularly strong.

It's too difficult to develop a 3D game, but it's still possible to develop some mini-games.

Therefore, the project of Bubble Hall, Chen Yu was handed over to the development team that was originally in charge of the legendary world.

"Casual class. ”

"That's right, it's mainly targeting female gamers as well as teenagers. By the way, Zou Tao, have you ever played the game Bomberman?"

"It's the kind of bubble in the little overlord that can blow people up?"

"yes, that's it, I think I can adapt Bomberman into an online game. ”

"It's okay to adapt an online game, but how do we charge for it?"

Zou Tao recalled the game Bomberman: "I seem to remember that this game should be a game of passing. ”

"We can play it in confrontation mode, like CS Counter-Strike, where you play in pairs. As for the charge, this kind of casual online game is not the same as upgrading the monster-style online game, and if you use a point card, it may not be very suitable. ”

Not long ago, Shanda acted as an agent for a similar casual online game "Crazy Tank", which also prefers to be a turn-based confrontation.

It's just that there is no sound after the agency, and Shanda has not released the number of people online at the same time, which is said to be a flutter.

As for the reasons, one of the most important reasons is the charging model.

Shanda has adopted the same point card charging model as Legend for Crazy Tank.

"So, we don't use point cards, and our games are free for all players. ”

"Free?"

Zou Tao couldn't believe it: "Mr. Chen, how can we make money for free?"

"Don't worry, it's free, it's not really free. Just like our YY, our YY is also free, but can't our YY make money?"

"You mean advertising?"

"Except for advertising?"

"Mr. Chen, do you mean that props are charged?"

"That's right. ”

Chen Yu nodded: "Our model is free + props mode." ”

"The game is free for everyone to play, and at the same time, if it doesn't cost money, it won't affect any of his gaming experience. Of course, if you spend money, the natural gaming experience is better. ”

"I see. ”

It's just that Zou Tao is still a little worried: "Mr. Chen, although the model of free + props is feasible, what if everyone doesn't buy props?"

"How can you not buy it, the QQ show made by Penguin Company is not a lot of people buying. ”

Saying this, Chen Yu remembered that YY was also going to have a YY show.

Whether you make money or not is small, and it is big to improve user viscosity.

YY show can not only make money, but also improve user stickiness.

It's just that YY was mainly engaged in chat rooms before, so it doesn't matter if you want a YY show or not.

But now it's different, YY has to take the social route, how can you not use the equipment that enhances vanity.

"Gamers are inherently more spendable than other players, although it seems that he can try it for free, and it doesn't cost money. However, in the process of playing the game, other people's various costumes and props pretend to be forced in front of you from time to time, and it is difficult for you to be reserved. ”

Thinking about his previous life, Chen Yu couldn't help but recharge dozens of yuan to buy wings and phantoms.

It doesn't matter if you don't charge it, there will always be someone who charges.

And there are quite a few people.

Of course, this model of free + props can also be suitable for traditional upgraded monster-fighting online games.

For example, in the world of legends, he can also make a free version.

However, it's not that time yet, so there's no need for a free version.

After arranging the second game project, Chen Yu called Li Nan again.

mentioned the YY show just mentioned to Li Nan, and then Chen Yu asked Li Nan to step up "Lianliankan" and "Elimination Show...... and so on and a series of mini-game development.

At present, QQ Games has fought a losing battle in the competition with YY Games, but it is defeated but not dead, QQ Games still has QQ so many people, and new players are still entering every day.

If you want to completely defeat the QQ game, you need to add a few more firepower.

After the order, Chen Yu thought about what more profitable online games would be available in the future.

League of Legends is one.

But for the time being, there is no rush for this.

Eating chicken too.

This one is even less urgent.

CF and dnf are also popular games, so you don't have to worry about this.

That's right.

Fantasy Journey to the West.

If you want to say that the most profitable online game in China, Fantasy Journey to the West can definitely rank in the top three.

And if you want to say that the domestic life is the longest and the most profitable, then the Fantasy Journey to the West should be ranked first.

In 2012, Fantasy Journey to the West shocked the attention of many people with 2.71 million simultaneous online users.

What's even more unbelievable is that in the wave of a large number of free online games at that time, Fantasy Westward Journey still maintained the original point card charge. Even, the price of the point card charge was increased later. From the original 1 hour 4 cents five to 6 cents.

Such a money-making game, thinking about Chen Yu is extremely exciting.

The Dream Journey to the West was launched in December 2003.

It's 2002, and there's still at least a year and a half to go, and Chen Yu still has time.

What's more critical is that NetEase has not yet started the project of Fantasy Journey to the West.

Their main focus is still on Journey to the West 2.

But there is still a very tight time, only one and a half years, two years at most.

If you don't preemptively make this game in front of NetEase, then you won't have any fun.

"Xu Bo. ”

Thinking of the Fantasy Journey to the West, Chen Yu thought of the most critical character of the Fantasy Journey to the West.

"Wang Chang, find a headhunter to dig Xu Bo over. ”

A phone call, Chen Yu called Wang Chang from the marketing department.
